Are you considering virtual hosting or cloud server?
You just want to run the website.
After reading this article, maybe you won't worry about it?
Virtual hosting is the veteran of the web era, and there are countless merchants providing virtual hosting services at home and abroad. The function of a virtual host is to store and transmit data, of which the biggest application is to host your own website. However, in recent years, vps and cloud servers have become popular. Many people have begun to chase cloud servers and invest a lot of money and time in order to host the website. From this point of view, is this toss really necessary?
In my opinion, if you want to put a website, it is completely unnecessary. Let me, an old driver, analyze it for you!
First, virtual hosting is more affordable. Generally speaking, the price of cloud servers is higher than that of virtual hosts. Of course, this does not rule out that some merchants sell very expensive virtual hosts, and some merchants sell cloud servers just like cabbage. But no matter how cheap your cloud server is, there are cheaper virtual hosts. When I say this, I'm just demonstrating that there is no price advantage in cloud servers at all.
Second, virtual hosting is easier to use. Choose a cloud server to build a website. You are nothing more than finding a server kit on the Internet and installing it on the cloud server and then tinkering with a virtual host. Some people have tossed for a long time and finally got it right. Some people have no results after a few days of tossing. . However, if you use a virtual host, it can be activated in a few seconds. For example , the virtual host of Silicon Cloud provides online FTP, transfers files through web pages, and adds SSL with one click. If you have no previous experience in this area, you really have to spend a few days, and you can't even figure it out. The time is smashed. The website has been running for several days and the ranking is much higher than you.
Third, let me analyze the security. It is not complicated to configure the WEB environment on the cloud server, but you are completely unclear about whether these software bugs are serious, whether there is a background, and whether the security protection is in place. Furthermore, even if the WEB environment you configure is completely correct (it's just an assumption, it's actually impossible), how about your security protection with the server? Do you have a deep understanding of it? For CC, scan blasting, and attack protection, I think most people don't know it very well, but how much is the security performance of using cloud servers. Your website couldn't be opened that day. You couldn't even troubleshoot. Is the server down? Or which software is down? Hacked? These security issues will basically not appear on virtual hosts, because virtual host vendors have solved them. Anyone who has used silicon cloud virtual hosts must know the one-click anti-CC that comes with the host? It's easy to use.
The fourth is the speed that everyone attaches great importance to. Here we need to focus on it.
When it comes to speed, what comes to mind is the performance configuration of the host. Using a cloud server seems to be very advantageous. In theory, you can open a virtual host that can be configured with the cloud server (completely occupy the cloud server configuration). This is true. As long as you are a bit proficient, you can follow the online experience Go match. But is this really suitable for your website? In terms of large and small websites, let's talk about resource utilization first.
If your website is a small website, or even just for practice, the problem you will encounter here is that the high-performance host you configure is a waste. For example, your cloud server configuration is 1G memory + 50G disk + 2M bandwidth. In fact, for small websites, it uses only tens of M of memory, which is far from 1G memory. The files of small websites are basically Less than 50G, even 1G disks are too big, 2M bandwidth is mostly idle, most of the time is dozens of K bandwidth. Virtual hosting vendors provide you with a more reasonable allocation. Silicon cloud shared cluster cloud virtual hosting is an example. You can share a certain amount of memory and bandwidth. The sharing mechanism can solve the need for high allocation in a small part of the time (if it is a long-term If you need high performance, you have to buy an exclusive virtual host.) Purchase the configuration according to your own wishes. The smallest silicon cloud virtual host has a 100M disk capacity, and the maximum can reach 10G.
If your website is a large and medium-sized website (here only in a relative sense, relative to a small website), in terms of resource utilization rate, it can be more difficult than a small website to make the best use of everything, but you also have more A good choice, such as silicon cloud exclusive virtual hosting is a model of exclusive virtual hosting, from memory to bandwidth, to disk, you can choose a suitable one.
However, what is the relationship between resource utilization and speed? My cloud server has high performance and the website runs fast.
This is a good question. You have to know that most of the virtual hosts of merchants are optimized for the needs of website development. At least for Silicon Cloud, the virtual hosts of Silicon Cloud are optimized for website customers countless times. There is no need to say more about the advantages inside. The web hosting business must have a more thorough demand for the website, and various structures and configurations are finalized after countless verifications. Furthermore, as mentioned earlier, if your cloud server can't even guarantee the security, then "fast speed" loses its meaning, the website can't be opened, and the speed won't be compared.
From the above four points, whether in terms of price, ease of use, security, or performance, virtual hosting is better than cloud servers for website hosting. The original intention of virtual hosting is to simplify operations. Let everyone no longer need to do those repetitive and meaningless work, so that latecomers can benefit, focus on their own website, save time, the Internet age, being earlier than others is a huge advantage.
Do you still want to use cloud servers instead of virtual hosts?
